Abstract: We report the development of a solution-processed phosphorescent tandem organic light-emitting device (OLED) exhibiting extremely small efficiency roll-off. The OLED comprises two light-emitting units (LEUs) connected by an interconnecting unit (ICU) and employs a thermally activated delayed fluorescence host material. One of the most difficult tasks in the fabrication of OLEDs is to form a multi-layer structure without dissolving the underlayer during the coating of the upper layer. The developed host materials exhibited high tolerance to methanol. The upper-layer adjacent to the light-emitting layer consists of ZnO nanoparticles, which could be dispersed in methanol by improving the preparation method. As a result, we succeeded in the fabrication of a solution-processed phosphorescent tandem OLED comprising two LEUs. The maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the tandem device was 22.8%, and the EQE was 21.9% even at a high luminance of 10,000 cd/m2. The suppression of efficiency roll-off is among the best of those previously reported. Moreover, the operational stability of the tandem device was much higher compared with single-LEU devices.
